Sweet Flag is a nature-inspired shawl. It grows from a couple of stitches, just like a beautiful plant from a seed. The shawl is an asymmetrical, biased triangle, featuring alternating garter stitch and delicate,
easy-to-memorize lace. The pattern highlights the beauty of unique hand spun or hand-painted yarn. The edges of the shawl are knit in garter stitch and its border naturally grows from the beautiful lace. Knit a Sweet Flag and be ready for Indian summer!
